37th SS Volunteer Cavalry Division Luetzow

The 37th SS Volunteer Cavalry Division Luetzow was a cavalry division of the German Waffen-SS that was active from February to May 1945 during World War II, named for the Prussian cavalry general Adolf von Luetzow. The division was formed from the remnants of the 8th SS Cavalry Division Florian Geyer and the 22nd SS Volunteer Cavalry Division Maria Theresia in addition to mostly underage German, Hungarian volksdeutsche, and ethnic Hungarian recruits. The division could only field two understrength regiments in combat, and Karl Gesele commanded the division as a part of the 6th Panzer Army during the final weeks of the war. In May 1945, the division surrendered to the US Army in Austria.
